To quote image.bbclass:

export PACKAGE_INSTALL ?= "${IMAGE_INSTALL} ${FEATURE_INSTALL}"

python () {
    # If we don't do this we try and run the mapping hooks while parsing which is slow
    # bitbake should really provide something to let us know this...
    if d.getVar('BB_WORKERCONTEXT', True) is not None:
        runtime_mapping_rename("PACKAGE_INSTALL", d)
        runtime_mapping_rename("PACKAGE_INSTALL_ATTEMPTONLY", d)
}

so as far as I know, the remapping does work.

Cheers,

Richard
